Reading Homebirth
Support Group

Reading Homebirth Support Group is a support network for people living in and around the Reading area of Berkshire, who are interested in or support the idea of homebirth as an option for the birth of our babies.

Since January 2008, we have been holding regular monthly social meetings for like-minded people to meet and exchange views and experiences.

Although we never have the exactly the same people attending two meetings in a row, the sessions are always interesting and usually well attended with a friendly and supportive atmosphere, and some people continue to come along regularly for some time.

Although there is a strong emphasis on birth being a normal and acheivable physiological event, we welcome everybody and are pleased to offer support to all, regardless of birth outcome or experience.  Please feel free to contact us for more information or if you wish to talk anything through with a sympathetic listener.  

From time to time short, informal "Moving Forward" small-group sessions (see below) are offered for people who need additional support when their birth didn't go how they wanted it to.  Please email for more information or see www.moving-forward.info.


MEETINGS

are held in Woodley and we endeavour to organise something each month, either a week-night evening get-together (8-10pm) or sometimes a lunchtime social.
 Finalised details are sent out by email a week or two before each meeting.
